City of Vancouver Releases 2019 Statement Of Financial Information

Darpan News Desk, 05 Mar, 2020 08:28 PM

    March 4 2020 – In accordance with the Financial Information Act, the City of Vancouver has prepared its annual Statement of Financial Information (SOFI) Report which can be viewed online.

    The SOFI report contains:

    Consolidated financial statements

    Schedules of debts and guarantee and indemnity agreements

    Remuneration and expenses for:

    Mayor and Councillors

    Vancouver Board of Parks and Recreation Commissioners

    Vancouver Police Board Members

    Employees (earning above $75,000)

    Payments to suppliers of goods and services


    The City’s financial position remains strong and is reflected in its credit ratings. In February 2020, S&P Global Ratings reaffirmed the City’s credit rating of AAA with a stable outlook, and in November 2019 Moody’s Investors Service reiterated the City’s credit rating of Aaa also with a stable outlook.


    Both AAA and Aaa credit ratings, which are among the best for Canadian municipalities, reflect the two agencies’ assessments of the City’s solid governance and experienced financial management team, consistent positive fiscal outcomes, high levels of liquidity, strong economy and budgetary performance, and strong debt affordability.


    Net long term debt (debt net of sinking fund reserves) was $604.7 million, up $15.7 million from 2018.


    The consolidated financial statements have been audited by the independent firm of KPMG LLP.


    Total staff remuneration and expenses paid in 2019 were $549.5 million and $1.9 million respectively. Payments to suppliers for goods and services totalled $845.6 million.
